I have chronic throat problems, too.

And I have the issues described as well. I am so afraid to have a voice. It's easier to be online.

When I talk face to face, I am extremely self-conscious. Many people have told me that I whine, that I sound annoying and needy.

So I am quiet.

Interesting thread.

My Reiki Master last summer continually told me my "throat chakras were closed".

She thought it was because I was silenced.
